Several Hempfield Area students earned awards for their original entries in the annual Empire State School Press Association (ESSPA) Creative Writing Competition for Poetry. This year’s prompt asked students to create a poem based on a surreal image or dream that takes place in an alternate reality or a fantastical world.
Congratulations to Chase Peck, second place winner, and Aidan Upholster who came in third. Peck’s poetry submission appears below.
